7. Project summary: The research output of Low and Middle Income countries (LMICs), particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, has greatly increased over the last 20 years. This increase is due in part to increasing access to both local or international research funds and various local/international initiatives aimed at strengthening LMIC research capacity. Makerere University is one of the most research-intensive universities in Sub-Saharan Africa and has over the years retained its position among the top 10 universities on the continent. Despite the growth and expansion of the research enterprise and though better than most Sub-Saharan African countries Makerere University has been slow in developing a corresponding capacity in international bioethics and yet like in other research active low- and middle-income institutions it faces many research bioethical challenges. The goal of this application is to develop a sustainable core group of doctoral-level trained bioethics scholars at Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) with the capabilities to conduct original empirical or conceptual bioethics research on challenging health issues and to support the design and implementation of health research at the highest bioethics standards in an African context. This will be achieved through the following aims: Aim 1: To develop individuals with capabilities to conduct original empirical or conceptual research on critical bio-ethical issues in the region Aim 2: To develop a critical mass of bioethics scholars with the capabilities to give robust advice based on theories, concepts and research findings on development of evidence-based bioethics policies in the region Aim 3: To develop individuals with competencies to sustain scholarly careers providing leadership in teaching bioethics, research design and implementation, ethical review of research and research ethics consultation The planned activities are designed to recruit, select and rigorously train Makerere University and its local partners faculty who will be supported through a 4-year sandwich joint supervision doctoral training program, focusing on research bioethical questions and or challenges of local relevance. The graduates of this training will be equipped to in due course and with subsequent post-doc training become independent bioethics researchers who can teach bioethics and bioethics research courses, lead the ethical review of research and provide expert consultation to their institutions, Government of Uganda, the private sector and international research organizations.

7.项目总结： 低收入和中等收入国家，特别是撒哈拉以南非洲国家的研究成果， 在过去的20年里大大增加了。这一增长的部分原因是增加了对当地和 或国际研究基金和旨在加强LMIC的各种地方/国际倡议 研究能力。Makerere大学是撒哈拉以南地区研究最密集的大学之一 多年来，它一直保持着在非洲大陆排名前十的地位。尽管 研究企业的成长和扩张，尽管比大多数撒哈拉以南非洲国家要好 各国Makerere大学在发展国际合作的相应能力方面一直进展缓慢 生物伦理学和其他研究活跃的中低收入机构一样，它面临着许多研究 生物伦理挑战。这个应用程序目标是发展一个可持续的博士级别的核心团队 Makerere大学健康科学学院(MakCHS)训练有素的生物伦理学学者 有能力对具有挑战性的健康问题进行原创性的实证或概念性生命伦理学研究 支持在最高生物伦理标准下设计和实施健康研究 非洲背景。这将通过以下目标实现： 目标1：培养有能力进行原创实证或概念性研究的个人 该区域的关键生物伦理问题 目标2：培养一大批生物伦理学学者，他们有能力在以下基础上提出强有力的建议 区域循证生物伦理政策发展的理论、概念和研究成果 目标3：培养有能力维持学术生涯的个人，在以下方面提供领导 生物伦理学教学，研究设计和实施，研究的伦理审查和研究伦理 咨询 计划中的活动旨在招聘、选拔和严格培训Makerere大学及其当地学生 合作伙伴教员将通过为期4年的三明治联合督导博士培训获得支持 计划，重点是研究生物伦理问题和/或与当地相关的挑战。该校的毕业生们 这一培训将在适当的时候配备，并随着随后的博士后培训变得独立 生物伦理学研究人员，可以教授生物伦理学和生物伦理学研究课程，领导对 研究并向其机构、乌干达政府、私营部门和 国际研究组织。
